EVERGREEN SHRUBS 
TACOMA STANS 
Eleagnus 
ELEAGNUS PUNGENS REFLEXA. Silverberry. 
Highly ornamental shrub, with attractive foliage. 
Of spreading habit, growing about four feet high; 
leaves are quite large, with waxy margin, smooth 
above except for numerous small, waxy, brown 
specks, and silvery beneath. This coloring gives 
it a very striking appearance. Works in well with 
other shrubbery, or makes a good specimen. Fine 
on the seacoast, and inland. 5-gal. containers, 
$1.50. 
ELEAGNUS PUNGENS VARIEGATA. Similar in 
habit, but the leaves are bright green, with broad 
golden margin. One of the most attractive varie¬ 
gated-leaved shrubs. 5-gal. containers 51*75. 
Eranthemum 
One of the finest blue-flowered 
shrubs. 
ERANTHEMUM PULCHELLUM. Because of its 
spikes of rich deep blue, phlox-like flowers, the 
color of Delphinium bellamosum, which are borne 
in winter and spring when flowers of this color 
are scarce; because it grows well in shade where 
not many flowering shrubs will; and because its 
rich green embossed leaves are so handsome, this 
rare shrub is one of the most valuable recent 
introductions for California gardens. It makes a 
shapely subject about 3 ft. high, and succeeds in 
almost any soil. 1-gal. containers, 75e; 5-gal., 
2-3 ft., 52.00. 
Escallonia 
Escallonias are very useful and ornamen¬ 
tal shrubs for all of California, especially 
near the coast. They grow from four to 
eight feet high, quite spreading, with good- 
looking foliage of deep green, and bloom 
profusely most of the year, their flowers in 
great, showy clusters at the ends of each 
branch. 
ESCALLONIA GLASNEVINENSIS. "Appleblos- 
som Escallonia". A very fine variety from Eng¬ 
land, compact in habit with beautiful blush-pink 
flowers. Grows about four feet high. 1-gallon 
containers, 50c; 5-gallon, 51*75. 
ESCALLONIA MONTEVIDENSIS. The flowers 
are pure white, borne in immense clusters. Grows 
about six feet high with large, glossy leaves. 1- 
gallon containers, 40c; 5-gal., 51*50. 
ESCALLONIA RUBRA. Low and compact, with 
large, glossy deep green leaves, and rich red 
flowers. 1-gallon containers, 50c; 5-gal. 51*75.

Euryops 
A South African Tree Daisy 
EURYOPS ATHANACIAE. This is entirely dif¬ 
ferent from any plant we know. The shrub has 
a lacy appearance, although leafless, the finely 
divided stems look like feathery foliage. It bears 
large numbers of beautiful clear butter-yellow, 
slender petalled daisy-like flowers of great size, 
often 4 1 / 2-5 inches across. In form and color the 
flowers greatly resemble a fine Doronicum. They 
are most useful for cutting as the stems are 
sturdy and strong. The plant may be grown as 
a large branched-bush, or even trained into a 
round-topped standard. This new introduction is 
a wonderful thing for our gardens, being a mass 
of flowers in winter, when other flowers are 
scarce, as well as other times of the year. 75c. 
Eugenia 
Attractive shrubs, or small trees, having 
creamy white flowers, formed like English 
Myrtle only much larger, followed by pur¬ 
plish red fruits in great profusion. The fol¬ 
iage is bronzy red when young, and a deep 
shiny green when developed. They are 
strong growers and lend themselves well to 
formal gardens, as they trim into any de¬ 
sired shape. They are also good in pots or 
tubs and will grow in the sun or partial 
shade. 
EUGENIA HOOKERI. Foliage and fruit larger 
than E. myrtifolia, and not so dense, unless 
trimmed, but like boxwood, stands trimming and 
is taking the place of Bay trees for specimen 
plants. 
EUGENIA MYRTIFOLIA. Very dense in growth, 
sometimes used for hedges, for which it is a 
beautiful subject. Also makes neat, trimmed 
specimens. 
Price of either variety, 1-gal. containers, 2-21/2 
ft., 40c; 2'/2-3 ft., 50c; 5 gal. containers, 4-5 
ft., 51.50; 5-6 ft., 51.75. 
Prices of boxed or trimmed specimens upon 
application. 
ROSE APPLE 
EUGENIA JAMBOS. A large spreading shrub or 
small tree of great ornamental value for warmer 
locations in southern California. The leaves are 
about six inches long, rich crimson on the new 
growth, becoming glossy green. The flowers are 
in clusters, large fluffy balls of creamy white 
followed by interesting yellow fruits which have 
the perfume and flavor of rose-petals (see fruit 
section). 1-gallon containers, 75c; 5-gallon, 3 to 
4 ft., 52.50. 
LILLI-PILLI TREE 
EUGENIA SMITHII. A beautiful tall shrub or 
small tree, fifteen to twenty feet high, resemb¬ 
ling in growth and foliage Eugenia Hookeri, with 
its glossy bronzy green foliage. In winter it is a 
lovely sight, covered with large clusters of soft 
lavender colored Perries. The cut sprays of ber¬ 
ries and leaves have great decorative value. 
4- inch pots, 75c; 1-gallon containers, 51*00/’ 
5- gallon, 52*50. 
ANGEL'S TRUMPET—See Datura 
Surinam Cherry 
EUGENIA UNIFLORA. A very attractive shrub 
growing about six feet high, with attractive 
foliage and beautiful edible fruit, (see fruit sec¬ 
tion). 1-gallon containers 75c; 5-gallon, 2 to 3 
feet, 51*75. Large boxed fruiting specimens, 
54.50. 
Euonymus 
The varieties of Euonymus are especially 
desirable for hot interior climates, where 
they are one of the finest evergreen subjects 
for specimens or trimmed hedges. 
DUC D'ANJOU. Leaves large, deep green 
beautifully edged with creamy yellow. Trimmed 
globes, 2-2i/ 2 ft., 52.50; 2i/ 2 to 3 ft., 53.50; 3 to 
31/2 ft., 54.50. 
EUONYMUS JAPONICA. Foliage deep glossy 
green. Balled, 2-3 ft., 52.00; 3-4 ft., 55*00, 
EUONYMUS JAPONICA COMPACTA. For 
hedges. 1-gal. containers, 50c; balled, 2-3 ft., 
52.00. 
EUONYMUS JAPONICA GOLDEN VARIEGATED. 
1-gal. containers, 50e;; 5-gal. 51*50. Trimmed 
pyramids 31 / 2-4 ft., 54*50; 4-5 ft., 50.50. 
EUONYMUS PULCHELLUS. A small leaved, 
very compact variety used for hedges and edg¬ 
ings like Boxwood but is a deeper green, more 
classic in appearance. 1-gal. containers, 50c. 
Feijoa 
(FEIJOA SELLOWIANA) 
A large shrub, 10 to 12 feet, with glossy 
dark green leaves, silvery beneath, and attrac¬ 
tive flowers with bluish white petals and con¬ 
spicuous red stamens. It is well worth planting 
for ornamental purposes alone, but its most val¬ 
uable asset is its delicious fruit, about the size 
and shape of a large egg, deep green in color 
with a spicy aroma and flavor, best described as 
a mixture of raspberry, banana, and pineapple. 
It is known as "Pineapple Guava" and is excel¬ 
lent eaten out of hand, or made into preserves, 
jellies, salads, etc. 
Our grafted varieties produce regularly quan¬ 
tities of large fruit. Balled plants, 52*00 each. 
Ficus nitida 
SMALL-LEAVED RUBBER 
For the one who plans his landscape set¬ 
ting for permanency, this shrub or tree is 
one of the most valuable subjects grown. 
It is always beautifully clothed with deep 
green glossy foliage, the leaves a little 
smaller than those of the orange, smooth 
and glossy. As a trimmed shrub it has no 
equal; it is of quite slow growth and keeps 
its form as well as the Bay Tree. It can be 
shaped into any desired form, globe, pyra¬ 
mid, columnar, or a round-topped standard, 
permanently beautiful as specimens in pots, 
tubs, or open ground. In pots or tubs they 
will grow in sun or shade withstanding 
quite adverse conditions; ideal for porch, 
patio or display room. 
For a trimmed hedge of any desired 
height from one foot to eight feet its clas¬ 
sic beauty blends with most types of archi¬ 
tecture and is particularly desirable in for¬ 
mal gardens, lending a permanent rich fin¬ 
ish that leaves nothing to be desired. 
When allowed to grow naturally. Ficus nltlda 
forms a beautiful tree of great character. 
Trimmed plants in large pots or tubs; 24 to 28- 
inches 52.50; 28 to 30-Inches 53.00; 30 to 36- 
inches 53.50; 3-3 Vz ft. $4.50; Round-headed 
standards 6-7 ft., 57*50; 1-gal. containers 12-18 
inches 75c; 4-inch pots 50c. 
PRYAMIDS (used like Eugenia, in tubs or in 
the ground). 5 to 6 ft., 58*50; 6 to 7 ft., 512.50; 
7 to 8 ft., 517.50.
